Y is for Yesteryear. In this episode, I chat with two long-time Paris residents about their first impressions of the city.  First, you'll hear from American music journalist Valli about life in Paris in the early 1980s. (Valli was first on the Earful Tower in 2019: "Famous in France: Meet American singer Valli") Then it's Englishman Jim Bane who first came to Paris in 1963. (Jim was first on the Earful Tower in 2017: "Paris expat for 50 years".) Do you like this podcast? Become a Patreon member of The Earful Tower here to support this show and get extras.
